Theo parked his car and started to anxiously search for Nina in every room. Neel came with back up to help his boss in finding Mrs. Morrison. Together, they searched the entire motel while the drunk customers of the motel complained. But they ignored their protests. Finally, in one of the rooms which is situated in one corner and looked very isolated, Theo found Nina. She is drenched in her own blood. "Nina? Nina?" Theo hurried inside the room and untied her. She is unconscious and pale. He didn't waste even a second after that. He lifted her up in his arms and carried her out hurriedly. He is walking so fast that he is practically running. Neel followed after him and opened the car door for his boss. Within no time, they reached a reputed hospital where the doctors were already waiting for Nina. Nina was taken away to the ICU to treat her wound. Theo slumped on one of the hospital chairs holding his head with his blood stained hands. His hands and clothes are stained by Nina's b
Theo stayed by Nina's side the entire night. But he didn't ignore the person who did this to his wife. He sent his men to gather evidence, and even requested one of his acquaintances for his help with this issue in particular. His acquaintance named as Ryan silvio is an undercover FBI agent. "You think Stella is not working alone and someone is behind her?" Ryan asked Theo. They both are standing outside Nina's room while Theo has his gaze fixed on his wife. "Yes. Don't you think it's suspicious that a normal employee went to this extent to kill my wife. It's either she must be a lunatic or someone must be behind her. In this case, I think it's the second option" Theo shared what he is thinking. Ryan nodded in agreement. "You said your men already captured Stella. When are you planning to hand her over to the authorities?" Ryan asked. Theo gritted his teeth with rage. "She dared to hurt my wife. I want to know for whom she is working. I will inform you after I finish quest
Chelsea is pacing the floor of her room with tension. It's been more than twenty four hours since the incident, but still there is no news about Nina. She is waiting for any news about Nina and the kidnapping. Nina is not just any one. She is a Morrison. So anything about her will become breaking news and would hit the headlines of every news channel. But to Chelsea's frustration, there is not a single news about Nina anywhere. 'Theo found her earlier than I wanted him to find her. But she shouldn't survive being stabbed, right? Where is she? And why is there no news about her anywhere?' she wondered. Chelsea is not worried about getting caught. The mobile number which Stella used to contact her is a private number. It cannot be traced back to her easily. Her involvement will remain a secret forever. She is sure that they will definitely catch Stella. Her finger prints are all over the place. And it's Stella who will he seen kidnapping Nina from the basement. Chelsea would not h
When Chelsea called Theo for the second time, he answered it. The smile which Nina was trying hard to suppress instantly when she registered Chelsea's name. "What do you want Chelsea? Don't you understand that I was busy when I rejected your call the first time?" he snapped at Chelsea, much to Nina's surprise and Chelsea's shock. Nina's head snapped in Theo's direction. "Theo? I just wanted to know how Nina is doing?" Chelsea replied. One could hear hurt in her voice. Theo snorted sarcastically. "You made her life miserable and provoked me to do so. You were not so concerned about her well-being then. Don't pretend as if you care now. I don't want you to call me. Nina will not be comfortable with you calling and showing up all the time" he spoke coldly before disconnecting the call. Nina was feeling extremely pleased by what he did. If he is loyal to someone, he will go to any extent to keep them happy. He resumed feeding her after the call. In the Dankworth mansion, C
"It's clear that you kidnapped Mrs. Morrison. I want to know who is behind you. Who is this man here?" Ryan inquired Stella while pointing at the driver of the private vehicle. Stella was quite. She is thinking about her indecent video which Chelsea has. She doesn't have any misconceptions about the fact that whether Chelsea would post that video or not. A woman who doesn't hesitate to kill another person can do anything. Belatedly Stella realised that Chelsea used her and now she is suffering the consequences. 'I know I am going to prison. Chelsea doesn't want me to reveal about herself. But still I can drag her down along with me. That person in that video was arranged by Chelsea to help me. I know who he is and based on his conversation with Chelsea, it was clear that they were romantically involved. Chelsea, you used me, now let me use your lover. You didn't tell me anything about not revealing anything about your lover, did you?' Stella thought feeling betrayed by Chelsea.
"Did she tell you why Silas is targeting Nina?" Theo asked Ryan. Ryan shook his head. "No, she didn't. It looked like she was not telling me everything. I tried to dig deeper, but she became extremely quiet. I understood that we are not going to get anything from her" he replied. Theo became thoughtful. "What are you planning to go now? With the proof against Stella and combined with her confession, we can easily put Silas behind the bars. But if you do that, both the Davis and the Rossi families might target you and Nina. So whatever you are planning to do, I suggest you consider all of this beforehand and don't regret it later" Ryan suggested when Theo kept quiet. Theo smirked. His smirk is scary as if he is planning something big. "What if I destroy the Davis family first before going for the kill? That would serve as a warning to the Rossi's. They wouldn't dare mess with me. Silas is definitely going behind the bars for what he did. He shouldn't have targeted Nina in the
"If you plan to do anything rashly, think about the consequences before acting upon it" Francis scolded Chelsea. Chelsea is quite. She knows that her father is right. She just took an opportunity to use Stella to hurt Nina. "My identity will not be revealed. I made sure that she wouldn't reveal it. So we don't have to worry about that" she tried to assure Francis, who gave her an furious look. "You idiot, if she revealed Silas's identity, then that means she wants you to get caught. If they couldn't figure out your involvement from Silas, do you think Stella will be satisfied? She will be sent to prison for atleast three to five years for attempted murder. The moment she hears the judgement, don't you think she might become bitter and angry? Who knows, she might even reveal your name if they threaten her like I am sure you would have done. And what about Silas? If she confessed everything infront of the judge, he will be screwed" Francis showed her the bigger picture which she refu
In the overseas company, when all the employees are busy chasing the details, Theo already figured out what to do. He left the company dressed up in a normal plain t-shirt and faded jeans. He doesn't want to look like the Boss of the Morrison group. He wants to look like a normal patron from that town. As his clothing was not flashy, no one gave him any mind when he slipped past the crowd who were waiting outside for an explanation from the boss. He hired a cab and drove to the outlet store from where this mess has begun. It took him thirty five minutes to reach the store. Upon arrival, he noticed that the store is brimming with customers who don't know that they are buying fake products. Theo made his way inside the store and found the section where the Morrison group products are on display. He picked up one of the products and keenly observed it. He noticed that there is a slight change in the packaging of the product. He collected a few other products and went to the counte
"She fed you lies. You don't know what kind of a woman she is" Stacy insisted. Asher glared at her coldly, while Aria was stiffly standing in his arms. Just their mere presence is evoking fear inside her. If there was ever a time in her life when she found herself helpless and scared out of her mind, then that would be with the Smith family. Nancy was better when compared to these people. She used to make Aria work, and that is that. If the work was done, then Nancy never used to bother Aria. But the other members of the family are not the same. "Enough, don't forget that you are talking to a Morrison. And you are insulting the mistress of the Morrison family. If you value your life and status in Neopolis, I suggest you to keep your tongue in check. One more word against her, then you will dissappear without a trace" he threatened Stacy, who immediately turned pale. Even Bianca looked scared. Even though they envy Aria's good fortune, they cannot afford to offend a Morrison. "I
"Who is your sugar daddy?" Stacy sneered. Aria is breathing heavily, looking wildly around her. She is expecting Bryan to pop in at any second and demand that she go home with him. She is barely listening to their taunts by this time. Asher forgot his mobile in his car, so he went to fetch it after confirming that she would be fine on her own. But little did Aria expect that she would have to face the people from her past one after another. "You ditch, how dare you? Can't you hear that we are asking you something?" Bianca became extremely angry when Aria immediately did not reply. Just then, all the patrons of the mall suddenly rushed to the glass railing of the mall from all the sides, waiting for something which they would know would happen then. Aria was left alone as Stacy and Bianca rushed to see what it was. Aria turned to run, but a loud announcement in the microphone stopped her dead in his tracks. "Today, we are excited to announce that a very special poster from th
"Bryan Smith? I know there was a Smith family in that town. And only an elder lady used to live with an adopted young girl. I remember this particular family because the details you have given me matched perfectly with this particular family. But only one important detail didn't" the PD, James explained. He is the PD whom Asher hired to investigate a man named Bryan whom Aria once mentioned to Asher. Her details were vague and she didn't give him much except for that name. She was a bit tipsy after one of their Friday ladies night out. That night, she witnessed someone abusing a woman and that triggered a section of her past. She mumbled something that shocked Asher to his core. He tried to pry more information from her, but she didn't give him much. The next morning he tried to ask her about Bryan, but she brushed it off as if it's nothing. But Asher remembered her reaction from the other night, so he knows that it's not nothing. But he didn't pry. He hired a PD and gave him as mu
'Don't you trust me Aria?' When Asher asked that question in a tone filled with pain, Aria felt extremely sad and guilty for making him feel that way. It's not like she doesn't trust him. "How can I not trust you, Asher? You are the person whom I trust more than anyone else" she shared softly. He looked at her with surprise. He was under the impression that she might not trust him enough to share her problems with him. But her confession made him confused. "If you trust me, then why hide everything from me? What happened the day before yesterday? What triggered your emotional breakdown? What happened back there? What made you think that leaving me would make everything better?" he inquired softly. He never wanted to intrude into her personal life and make her feel uncomfortable. But things changed between them now. He is protective of her like always. He wanted to be there for her. Aria looked at him feeling like an imposter. To Asher, she was always a confident and inde
"No" Bruce refused to believe that Aria, his Aria is already someone's wife. He refused to believe the possibility. He has been searching for her for years now, but to no avail. After so many years, he refused to accept that she turned out to be Asher Morrison's wife. "Are you absolutely sure that the woman who was with Asher Morrison is Aria? I have seen his assistant and the woman who was said to be his wife. She doesn't look like Aria at all. They look completely different. You might have been mistaken" Bruce recollected Natalie and then seeing Aria's back in that party. There is no way the scared and clumsy Aria he was searching for is the hot and confident woman he saw that day. Lance was still following after Asher and Aria. The former is seen behind the wheel while Aria was seen sitting beside him in a daze. "I might not be the who lived with her under the same roof, but I have seen her while growing up. She is the same Aria, but different. The woman beside Asher is mor
"Ash, I was so scared" Aria whispered while hugging Asher tightly. The fear, unbearable pain, the feeling of being lost and lonely, and the desperation and guilt that followed as soon as she saw that dead body when she mistaken that for Asher's was too much to bear. She realised that it's not as easy as she thought it would be to leave Asher. It would be like losing herself along with him. She might not be able to survive a day without him. The image of Bryan sent chills down her spine. But her fear over Bryan felt like it was nothing in front of the feeling of losing Asher. She lived under the same roof with both the men. One of the scares the hell out of her, and she cannot live without the other. She realised that leaving Asher means losing her life. "I am fine. Don't worry" he rubbed her back, soothing her fears. This close, he could feel her heart still pounding loudly. She just confessed that she loves him too, and he still remembers the way she looked at him that morning.
Aria found herself sitting anxiously behind her desk. It's been more than a few hours since Asher went out on some work. This is the first time she didn't ask him where he was going and the first time since he left without informing where he was going. It's after eight in the evening, and Aria couldn't stop worrying about Asher. She refused to go home without him. Almost everyone left for the day, but she stayed back waiting for Asher. 'What is taking him so long?' she wondered for the nth time. Her finger kept hovering over his number, but retreated again reluctantly. She cares for him, but she doesn't want to show him that she cares. The only way to force him to let her go is pretending not to care. But who would tell her anxious heart to calm down and he will return soon. Just as she was putting her phone away, her mobile rang. She looked at the caller ID and noticed that it is Abel Anderson. "Mr. Anderson" she answered the phone quickly. After Abel's visit after their s
After their argument that morning, things remained tense between Aria and Asher. She didn't speak to him at all, and he is upset with her to talk about anything. He wanted her to tell him what happened and why she was so scared. But she is not trusting him enough to share anything with him, which made him feel upset. After yesterday's event, their photo shoot was posted to that day. And Abel wanted to finish the photo shoot first thing in the morning. As Aria couldn't do anything about the contract and she couldn't think about a way to leave Asher, she followed him to work. But she looked distracted at best. Today she is wearing a red dress. It has drop sleeves that are full with sheer lace fabric, leaving her shoulders and collar bone bare. This dress has lace detailing near the bodice. It hugged her frame till her waist before flaring down and reaching above her knees. Pairing it with red shimmer heels, she looked gorgeous. Her hair is pulled up into a high ponytail, showing off
"I Fu*king Love you" Those words made Aria freeze. Never in her life did she imagine that he would love her and even confess it like this. She hoped that he might one day start liking her more than a friend, and wished how wonderful it would be to be on the receiving end of his love. But to be able to hear those beautiful words come from his mouth like this felt like a dream. She almost turned to tell him that she loves him too. More than he could ever imagine. But Bryan's face that flashed in her mind made her freeze. 'You are mine' his Psychotic words made her fear about Asher's safety more than ever. 'No, i cannot let Bryan find out about this. I cannot let him hurt Ash. I cannot' she thought as fear forced her to stick to her plan. "Ash, you are being emotional. Let's think about this camly. I should go" she insisted. Asher gritted his teeth. She is not making any sense. This is not the Aria he knows. And the woman standing in front of him felt like a stranger. She is
